Ann Christopher RA

Drawing – The Lines of Time

25 February — 29 May 2016

Ann Christopher RA

This exhibition presents a new series of drawings, The Lines of Time, by the award-winning abstract sculptor Ann Christopher RA.

Ann Christopher RA began this project while working in Southern France near the town of Albi. She describes the forms represented as originating from her experience of the “ever-changing effects of the climate and light on the landscape” in that area.

The drawings, which have never previously been exhibited together, continue Christopher’s exploration of line – a theme that connects her non-figurative sculpture, drawings and prints.

This book examines how her work reveals connections with a vast spectrum of sources from across the globe, such as rock formations in Israel, fossils from the Cretaceous chalks of Hertfordshire, prehistoric standing stones in Avebury and early Aegean figurines.
